LACROSSE, Wis. — After 46 years LaCrosse restaurateur, Chris Roderique is hanging up his chef’s toque. Roderique, age 63, announced his retirement and the sale of his classy Piggy’s in the old Front Street warehouse district. He had operated Piggy’s since 2001 and built following for, some say, the best prime rib in town. Roderique is selling to Mitchel Weber and Katie Iceler, who operate the next-door Sagrra food and wine bar that features rustic Roman and Italian fare. Weber and Iceler said they plan to maintain Piggy’s fine-dining reputation.
